Elara’s POV

The words “Lycan Queen” still echoed in my head almost a minute since she said the words.

I didn’t even realize I was staring at Aldric until my lips parted, and the words left my mouth.

“W..What does she mean by that?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

For a brief second, Aldric’s expression faltered, like the words his mom said were actually true and he was about to confirm it.

But then, suddenly his eyes darkened.

“She means nothing,” he said, his tone like a blade. “My mother speaks nonsense.”

I blinked, stunned by his outburst. “But she said—”

He cut me off before I could finish. “Do not mistake her words for truth. You are not…” he paused, his gaze dragging over me for a moment. “.. someone of royal stature. You’re a mere female wolf from a lower pack.

You're a low life and can't be fit to be Lycan Queen.”

The words hit harder than any slap could. My throat went dry. I could feel everyone’s eyes in the room on me, from the guards to his mom.

    Elara's POVAnita’s hands were still wrapped around mine.I didn’t let go, to be honest, I wasn't sure if she was real.She noticed, of course she did.“Elara,” she said softly, squeezing my fingers. “If you keep staring at me like that, I’m going to start charging for emotional damage.”A dry laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it.And for a moment, I was stunned it did.That sound felt unfamiliar in my throat, like something that hadn’t been used in far too long.I clapped a hand over my mouth and Anita’s smile widened.“There it is,” she said. “I knew you still had it in you.”I shook my head, my breath shaky. “I don’t even remember the last time I laughed.”“Yeah,” she replied gently. “It shows.”Sunlight filtered through the tall windows of my room, illuminating the walls as the warmth spilt into the room.Anita sat on the edge of the bed beside me, the excitement brewing through her and me too.“Okay,” she said suddenly, leaning back on her hands. “I need answers.

    Elara's POVThe car was coming too fast.I didn’t have the strength left to move again, not to jump aside, not to run, not even to scream.So I closed my eyes.I braced for the pain.. for the impact.And then….I heard the sound of the tires screeching loudly.Wind rushed past me as the car skidded, stopping just short of where I stood.There was no impact.It was just the silence.My knees buckled.I collapsed onto the road, my palms scraping against the rough surface as my body finally gave up.My heart hammered wildly in my chest, and then it hit me all at once.I was alive.The realization crashed over me so hard it made me dizzy.I dragged in a shaky breath, then another, my vision blurring as the adrenaline drained from my system.Then, the car door slammed open.Footsteps approached me, their fast and urgent.I lifted my head weakly, squinting against the glare of the headlights.A figure stepped out from the shadows.My mind scrambled desperately, trying to make sense of what

    Elara POVThe room was too small for the amount of fear running through me.I crouched in the corner of the room, my back pressed so hard against the stone wall that it felt like the cold was seeping into my bones.My knees were drawn to my chest, my arms wrapped around myself like I could hold my body together by sheer will alone.They stood a few steps away.The two guards.Both of them smiling from ear to ear.These smiles were slow and deliberate, like they had all the time in the world and I was nothing more than something left behind for their amusement.Thier eyes filled with lust and at that point, I knew I shouldn't have attacked Elder Martins..My heart hammered violently against my ribs.I listened as they spoke to each other, their words low and casua, as if I weren’t sitting right there.“You go first.” one said to the other, leaning over to him, still tugging that grin.Then the other nodded in agreement, as his eyes locked on me.“I’ll be back,” he said, turning toward

    Aldric’s POVThe moonlight spilled through the tall windows of my room, casting a soft and chill glow on the floots.I stood there unmoving, my hands braced against the cold glass, staring into the night as if it might give her back to me if I looked hard enough.It didn’t.All I saw was the darkness.Elara’s face wouldn’t leave my mind, not even for a second.I couldn't sleep, because of I shut my eyes even for a sceond, the picture of her lying dead appears.I had let her walk into the markets alone. I had convinced myself this kingdom was safe, that the danger had ended with Valor’s death and the end of the vampire war.I had been wrong.The knock at the door cut through my thoughts like a blade.“Enter,” I said, my voice hoarse.And then, Jonas stepped inside, his expression tight and controlled, but I knew him well enough to see the tension under it.“What is it?!” I asked, my tone sharp.“Sir,” he said carefully. “Elder Martins has returned to the kingdom. He’s entering the grou

    Elara POVThe room felt smaller every time I took a step.I paced back and forth, my bare feet brushing against the cold stone floor, my breaths uneven as my mind raced even faster than my body could keep up with.The walls were close, there was hardly any space in here and no windows except the one and no furniture except the chair they’d tied me to earlier.The air smelled damp, stale, like it hadn’t been disturbed in days.I guess no one came here unless someone was meant to disappear or be killed.My chest tightened at the thought, but I shoved it away quickly.I had to get out of here.Aldric is alot of things, but he's not a psychic to know my exact location every time.I stopped pacing when my eyes landed on the window again.It was small and narrow enough that even if I reached it, squeezing through would be hell.But that wasn’t what caught my attention this time.It was the bolts.The metal bolts held the frame firmly in place, with thick screws drilled into stone.I hadn’t
